Definitions
- the subject of the invention is dolorimetric adapter to hand grip dynamometer designed for pain objectification of patients during a palpation.
- dolorimeters that is medical devices for measuring the intensity of pain during pressure, have been known from the industry. Such devices consist of a movable part, which is used to apply pressure to certain points on the body, and a meter connected to it, allowing to determine the strength of the pressure released.
- a dolorimetric device is known from US5012817A which contains an element with a property which changes depending on the pressure exerted on it.
- a device is provided for attaching the segment to the user's hand so that the segment fits under the user's finger.
- the segment is sized to fit between the finger and the object touched by the user, while allowing essential tactile communication with the finger.
- a device for quantifying the variance of said property from said element is provided.
- a system for measuring sensitivity is known from WO2019204899A1 to be used in patient's diagnostics and treatment, which includes: a handheld, formable device that contains a pressure sensor, a Bluetooth ® radio and a battery, the pressure sensor and Bluetooth radio in electrical communication with the battery, the pressure sensor in electrical communication with the Bluetooth radio; a computer device, a computer device that contains a Bluetooth ® receiver that is in radio communication with the Bluetooth radio, a processor and memory, the memory containing instructions for calibrating the system for a specific patient for calibration, the memory storing a set of calibration and sensitivity data for a specific patient; and a user interface that communicates electronically with the computer device.
- a computer operated sensory testing system is known from EP2482716A2 , which can be used for further studies on pain and supporting clinical diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes.
- the system includes actuators to deliver pressure/strain (tension), auditory, olfactory and other stimuli to the patient.
- the system includes software to control the delivery of the stimuli.
- the system is further capable of receiving feedback on the stimuli received.
- the purpose of the invention is to develop such a dolorimetric adapter that, when used together with a hand grip dynamometer, will allow an objective study of pain sensation in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
- the ease of use of the indicated invention will make it possible to accurately determine points of maximum soreness before conducting therapy and to compare the results after therapeutic intervention. Obtaining accurate, objective measurements significantly improves the quality of the treatment performed.
- the invention allows for increased testing capability with a single device, in this case a hand grip dynamometer, without the need to purchase and calibrate further measuring devices.
- a hand grip dynamometer for testing gives the possibility of acting with greater force, up to 120 kg.
- the body of the adapter is placed on the handle of the dynamometer, after which a cap is placed in its upper part to lock the body. Inside the cap, there is a pressure plate, which is further tightened using a thumb screw. A pressure pin is screwed into the lower part of the body, along with a cap that directly exerts pressure on the patient's body. Making the overlays in two sizes allows testing with a similar pressure area for the index finger (16mm diameter) and for the thumb (20mm diameter).
- the solution is an additional device, dedicated for use with a hand grip dynamometer.
- the indicated solution allows to increase the possibility of testing with one device, without the need to purchase and calibrate further measuring devices.
- the use of a hand grip dynamometer for testing gives the possibility of acting with a much greater force, up to 120 kg, compared to commercially available dolorimeters.
- fig. 1 shows the pressure pin
- fig. 2 the bottom cap fig. 3 the sleeve fig. 4 the screw fig. 5 the dolorimetric adapter
- fig. 6 the pressure plate
- fig. 7 a blind hole in the bottom cap
- fig. 8 the dolorimetric adapter with hand grip dynamometer.
- Example I The dolorimetric adapter for the hand grip dynamometer consists of a body 1 embedded in a sleeve 2.
- Sleeve 2 has the shape of a channel, with side walls 6.
- the side walls 6 have the same dimension and are parallel to each other.
- Sleeve 2 has a base 3 and two side walls 6, set to the base 3 at right angles.
- the side walls 6 are L-shaped and their block serifs 12 face each other.
- Sleeve 2 has a through-hole 10 for a screw 20 preferably wing-head thumb screw, pressing the sleeve 2 against the body 1 through the pressure plate 4.
- the pressure plate 4 has a blind seating hole 16, placed in one axis with the through-hole 10.
- the body 1 consists of a channel-shaped bottom cap 7 and a pressure pin 8.
- a blind hole 19 In the upper wall 9 of the bottom cap 7, there is a blind hole 19 in which the pressure pin 8 seated through a threaded connection 18 is embedded.
- the pressure pin 8 is cylindrical in shape, and has an expansion 11 in the upper part, on which the locking cap 13 is seated.
- the bottom cap 7 has side walls 14.
- the side walls 14 have the same dimensions and are parallel to each other.
- the side walls 14 have block serifs 15 facing in opposite directions to each other.
- Block serifs 15 of the bottom cap 7 are adjusted in length and width to the internal dimensions of block serifs 12 of the sleeve 2.
- the top wall 9 of the bottom cap 7 has two symmetrical bevels relative to the vertical axis of the bottom cap 7.
- Dolorymetric adapter to hand grip dynamometer is characterized in that it consists of a body 1 embedded in sleeve 2 on pressure plate 4.
- the channel-shaped sleeve 2 has mutually parallel side walls 6 and a base 3 embedded at a right angle, which side walls 6 are L-shaped and have their block serifs 12 facing each other, and the sleeve 2 having a through hole 10 with a screw 20.
- the body 1 consists of a channel-shaped bottom cap 7 and pressure pin 8, with the upper wall 9 of bottom cap 7 having a blind hole 19 in which a cylindrical pressure pin 8 with an expansion 11 in the upper part is embedded.
- the bottom cap 7 has mutually parallel side walls 14 with block serifs 15 facing in opposite directions.
- Example III is different from I due to having a cuboid-shaped pressure plate 4 with dimensions not greater than the width and length of the upper wall 5 base 3 of sleeve 2 embedded on the bottom base 3 of sleeve 2.
